Oilers are good at hockey again: Back in the plofs

[CycloneSweep]

16 games is impressive as hell!
But those win streaks by the Flyers and Pens before OT and the shootout are even more impressive.

Entirely different times so really hard to compare. Especially before the cap era.
All of them are impressive though.

Oilers vs Vegas 1st round. Man , oh man. If Oilers win, they'll be beat up AF, but i think they'll lose and Vegas will be tired from chasing Mc-crybaby-David around for 7 games.
West is wideopen

 

[sbhnur]

Don't think it's a bad thing having this streak ended. Care about winning in general and the process, not about shiny accomplishments .

16 is great.

 

[Cup or Bust]

As long as the Oilers can maintain this style of play they are going to be fne.

 

[authentic]

Flyers did it in 79-80, Pens did their streaks in 92 and 93.

Oh I misread I thought you said they both (the Flyers and Penguins) happened in 92 and 93. That makes a lot more sense.

Getting out of the west is going to suck.

[Morpheus]

The west is best!

Can’t wait for the plofs to start!

 

[Ol' Jase]

Wish we had a schedule where we vs Chicago three times, Anaheim, SJ, Seattle, Ottawa, Montreal, Columbus, a slumping Leafs, Flyers, Kings and Rangers team, then three middling teams in Calgary, Nashville, and New Jersey.

That had to be the best stretch of 16-18 games i think I’ve ever seen where you had the most shittiest and mid teams you had to face consecutively.

Hey, big guy. During the 16 game Oiler streak, the Canucks played 10 games against the same teams the Oilers faced.

Teams Oilers played during that time that the Canucks didn't play:

LA
ANA
DET
MTL
SEA
CGY
NSH

Teams Canucks played that the Oilers didn't play:

DAL
NYI
STL
PIT
ARI
BUF

Hope this helps.

 

[Bowie22]

At the trail end of a gruelling 7 game road trip and we still grabbed a point.

And you guys lost to San Jose in regulation btw. We did too, but yeah not as embarrassingly.

excuses are for losers

and we lost the Sharks by 1 goal, just like the Nucks

Fella's you don't need to fight over us...
our official twitter account made this btw

Canucks are 9-2-2 against top 10 teams?

 

[Master P]

16 game losing streak here we gooooo.

 

[Old Boys Club]

16 game losing streak here we gooooo.

No. Oilers only play sub-standard opponents, I myself 'donated' $500 to Bettman to ensure the Oilers only play bad teams.

8 game win
3 game loss
16 game win
6 game loss (?)
32 game win (!!!)

I mean the pattern is right there. I've also phoned Gary and ensured the Oilers only play the Blackhawks and they have to pull their goalie the whole game.

 

[VintageBure]

Aiden hill on Vegas is a problem

 

[Ol' Jase]

That's not what you posted.

You said you wished that the Canucks had the same sort of schedule during the 16 game win streak that the Oilers had. Well, they pretty much did.

 

[Soundwave]

Aiden hill on Vegas is a problem

At what point does he get some credit. He is the best goalie in the world right now arguably.

No one had a better save percetange in the playoffs than him.

No one has a better save percentage this season so far than him.

If we're looking at who brought it in the playoffs last year and so far this year ... who exactly has a case to make above him?

On the plus side, for people crying that Team Canada doesn't have a starter for the 2025 tourney and the 2026 Olympics ... uh, well maybe how about this guy?

 

[BigTruzz]

Crazy that Vancouver has a 14 point lead on the Oilers even after they've had a 16 game winning streak.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Not in the last 1.5 months

Not true, but since it's been pointed out to you, you can see for yourself.

The Canucks are also 12-7-3 this season against teams currently in the playoffs as of tonight. Let's not pretend your guys are running roughshod over anyone you face.

Crazy that Vancouver has a 14 point lead on the Oilers even after they've had a 16 game winning streak.

I don't think the Canucks will lose the division, but the 4 games in hand for the Oilers might bridge the gap a bit.

Nah, its far more crazy that the Oilers were dead and done and look what they have done.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Streak is over, time to change the title of this thread.

Thread title badly needs an update.

Hell yeah dog, we need the cup back in E-Town

 

[Old Boys Club]

A pathetic loss by a pathetic team, Oilers are about as good at hockey as my grandmother.

Your grandmother won 16 games straight?

Damn man that's sick ngl.

Hell yeah dog, we need the cup back in E-Town

Umm I didn't give you permission to post my song like that.

Got a grammy nom and everything for it.

I hate to be that guy, but Canucks have a league best 9-2-2 record against Teams currently in the Top 10


The fact of the matter is, the two best teams in the NHL are Oilers and Canucks. Who’s better? We’ll find out In a couple months
